Sheppard, Keith; Padwa, Linda; Kelly, Angela M.; Krakehl, Robert – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2020
This empirical census study was a quasi-experimental analysis of certification level (primary vs. secondary) and in-field vs. out-of-field certification. The sample included chemistry teachers (n = 2312) and physics teachers (n = 1387) in New York State in 2011-12. Findings indicated that the number of out-of-field teachers was relatively low, but…

Padwa, Linda; Kelly, Angela M.; Sheppard, Keith – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
This case study explored chemistry teacher isolation through the compilation and analysis of contextual characteristics and student performance data of 895 public schools and 2321 chemistry teachers in New York State in 2011-12. Data on the teachers' qualifications along with school characteristics were collected from several independent, publicly…

Krakehl, Robert; Kelly, Angela M.; Sheppard, Keith; Palermo, Martin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
Physics, as a foundational science, has particular importance in predicting the postsecondary success of students who major in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This quasiexperimental, observational study examined teacher-level and school-level predictors of student performance in physics, with a focus on isolated teachers. A New…

Kelly, Angela M.; Sheppard, Keith – Science Educator, 2010
This study sought to examine physics offerings and enrollments, as well as teacher certification data, in small schools (less than 600 students) throughout New York City during the 2004-2005 academic year. Results were then compared to those for mid-sized (600-1200 students) and large (greater than 1200 students) high schools. The following…

Kelly, Angela M.; Sheppard, Keith – Physics Teacher, 2008
Despite reports to the contrary, the availability of physics as a course for high school students is not equitably distributed throughout the United States. While some schools provide physics for all who wish to take it, a more common scenario is limited availability, often open only to the few students who have completed the necessary…
